	Story Behind the Song Theodore is quite complex in his simplicity. He's obviously different, but he cannot recognize it, due to an open-minded condition that can be referred to as naivete. Lyrics Let's see Theodore Reilly wearing yesterday's blue jeans and a smile For angel that had kissed him on the head Sitting on the bus stop, counting out a dollar twenty five From the pennies that were lying on the ground Chorus: Though he hates the life he's living he despises charity He'd trade every guilty dollar for an ounce of dignity And he asked me Not to tell anybody his name Let's see Theodore Reilly chasing planes across the sky Does he catch them? No, but he keeps going trying just the same And he's so scared of lightning, he runs in to his mother who then cries "Oh, Theodore! When will you open up your eyes?" Chorus Let's see Theodore Reilly waking up on Christmas morning like a child Where he finds everything he thinks he'll need this year His favorite toy is broken, he runs up to his father, who then scolds "Goddamnit, Theodore! You're twenty-three years old!" Chorus Let's see Theodore Reilly Laughing with the world that laughs at him
